The Experimental Log of the Crazy Lich
Chapter 264 Advance
Unlike the north, which is still covered with ice and snow, spring in the southern Central Plains comes very early. Within two weeks after the first spring rain falls, the temperature rises rapidly, and the continuous spring rain is also a symbol of the new spring.
To use the church's common saying, Dongia, the goddess of winter, also simply handed over the authority to the goddess of spring, Erogel. They also began to look for food, and the cycle of a new year began again. Everything began to recover, and new life was born during this golden time.
Well, let’s stop with literature and art. To be honest, um, let’s start with making money. Now that spring is here, business opportunities are also coming.
In this era of cold weapons, transportation still relies on horses and carriages. The roads are frozen in winter, making travel inconvenient, and the transportation of commodities and daily necessities is slow. After one winter, every household has a lot of consumption, and they have to supply various supplies. necessity.
Therefore, every spring is the golden time for caravans to make money, and a slight price increase is acceptable. Coupled with the huge demand, for merchants who specialize in this line, the amazing profits of the first batch of goods , It can even account for 30% of the annual income.
The Kingdom of Largos is rich in silk, green crystal ore, red wooden staff, and three-leaf rosemary. Among them, green dazzling crystal and three-leaf rosemary are the materials for casting spells among spellcasters, and red wooden staff is very good. The staff embryo is a commodity imported in large quantities for the kingdom of mages and the bayer empire.
Where there is market demand, there are sellers. The caravans at the beginning of each year will leave on time when the last snow falls, and go to foreign countries to exchange special goods for gold coins, and when it is time to return. The gold coins were replaced with various specialties rich in the Bayer Empire. The harvest is huge once and for all.
But it's like a different world. Although the profits of border trade are surprisingly large, the risk is also very high. If you encounter robbers or illegal officials, it is fine to keep half of the goods. If you are unlucky, even unpredictable factors such as military coups and wars may hit Come on, that's nothing to lose.
But in this day and age, the most dangerous. However, he was still taken by a certain "lord". After all, no matter how big a businessman's connections are, he can easily reach neighboring countries. As long as he can have a reason to eat foreign businessmen's wealth, for some big nobles, it is almost impossible. It's free breakfast.
Practitioners of business that ordinary people dare not do are naturally not ordinary people. Those who dare to engage in border trade are often not easy to mess with. They either have extremely strong backgrounds, or are even involved with the royal families of various countries. They are not afraid of extortion by ordinary lords at all. . Or they have the power to protect themselves, such as keeping mercenary groups in captivity. After all, the only ones who can protect themselves when going out are the trustworthy combat power in their hands.
The person in charge of the Vicki Chamber of Commerce is not the heir to the nobles, but obviously the latter. Although their Chamber of Commerce is only a new Chamber of Commerce that has just risen for no more than 20 years, due to the painstaking efforts of the previous generations of family owners, they have basically monopolized the Bayer Empire. The route of the Chamber of Commerce from the city to the city of Anton in the Kingdom of Lagos,
Their private mercenaries are no worse than the little lord's army, but this year, the situation is a little different.
"...It seems that we can only hope that we will not lose money this time."
Cindy Vicki, as one of the top executives of the Chamber of Commerce, is 46 years old and has been running this route for almost 30 years. However, unlike in the past, the domestic situation in the Bayer Empire has been turbid recently, and various rumors continue.
Businessmen are naturally sensitive to crises. In their eyes, when there is a major turmoil within a country. There will naturally be problems in the economy, and recently there have been a lot of gossip about strange monsters and undead in the Bayer Empire, which has caused a sharp decrease in the caravans between the two countries.
He saw the tense situation that was about to come, and was anxious in his heart, but there was nothing he could do. Many orders were placed last year, and some old customers who had been with him for decades could not be offended at all.
The president of the Vicky Chamber of Commerce was willing to spend a lot of money to hire two top ten large mercenary regiments in the Kingdom of Lagos, and asked them to send out elite combat forces at the head level.
In the end, strong players came. The "Starfall Sword" Jost of the Solo Eagle Mercenary Group, and the "White Dragon" Carroll Gil of the Northern Horn Mercenary Group are all very famous strong men, and they also brought along as promised. His elite subordinates, but I am afraid that the income this time is not enough to pay the employment fee.
"Don't really get into trouble, especially don't meet those undead..."
If the hired mercenaries did not fight, according to the usual commission, it would be enough to pay the ** achievements, and they would not pay a high amount of consolation due to the loss, which could somewhat recover the cost.
"Master Cindy, why do you always have a sad face? The weather is really nice today. If you can walk more, at least be happy."
In Cindy's eyes, this smiling blond boy looked only fifteen or sixteen years old, but after a little in-depth communication, Cindy found that he still felt that he couldn't see through this boy named Luo Luo.
He may seem childish and mischievous, but he is actually very talented in business. Sometimes the other party says something casually, and he has to think about it for a long time, and finally thinks it is very reasonable.
When the silver coin mercenary group of strange and strange members came to the door actively and offered a super low price of mercenary money, I was still surprised and thought there was some conspiracy, but when I saw the batch of goods they were dragging, I understood Oh, it turned out that I was thinking too much, they were just planning to take a ride, the so-called door-to-door service was just a cover, the real purpose was to use their huge fleet to make a small fortune.
Originally, this kind of hitchhiking was a bit taboo, and generally would not be accepted, but when the other party exposed the true meaning of "hitchhiking", he frankly admitted that he was not, and even offered to pay the chamber of commerce a sum of money. For considerable "travel expenses".
"...This batch of Wenluo wine must be delivered. Now that the world is not peaceful, how can we dare to go on the road alone with our small body. We will pay the reward, and if we really encounter trouble, more people will help .”
certainly. Finally able to go together. Did the private thank-you money to Cindy work? I really don't know.
"By the way, Captain Luo Luo, can you talk about the relationship between bank loans and market prices that you mentioned yesterday? There are still some things I still don't understand yesterday. For example, if I can talk to the bank... "
For Cindy, who has been in business for half his life, the harvest in the past few days is extremely great. Although the person in front of him is young, he is worthy of being a mage known for his wisdom. His views on the lending industry and the banking industry... well, according to him, they should all be referred to as finance. His personal views are completely different from those of the world. reason.
At a lower level, seeing Cindy talking endlessly about business, I regretted why I used to say those messy financial aphorisms.
"It was originally to pretend to be a businessman to join the group. I casually said a few economic theories from my previous life, but who knew that I didn't take it seriously. I was very interested in asking to the end. As a legal professional, I was not interested in economics. If you know it so clearly, you can only talk nonsense when you are questioned."
How to make a lie as true as it is, you only need to put a lie in another lie that is easy to see through, and let the "smart people" expose the "false" by themselves and find out the "truth" they want.
It was a pleasant surprise to meet Cindy's caravan, but it's not easy to get in with them who are heavily guarded. If we take the initiative to recommend ourselves, most of them will be rejected. If we show our strength, it will make the other party suspicious. There will be no conspiracy, so I simply bought a batch of wine, made a fake order, and pretended to be a peddler who wanted to save money and act as a mercenary.
As a result, the headache now is that the pretense was a bit too successful, and a few hearsay words that were casually said were regarded as treasures by the businessman in front of him.
"Shh, this is forbidden."
Well, since I don’t know how to answer, let’s treat it as a secret that I don’t want to say. Although the answer and the lines are not cute at all, the result is that the other party pays more attention to me. From a frontal attack to a sideways attack, I come to me every day to talk to me, just to find out a little bit of ideas.
And today is the third day of departure, this guy actually met him early in the morning and started to ask again, and just as I was about to continue fooling around, suddenly, the noise from behind the team and the sound of weapons clashing attracted our attention .
"Are you coming again?"
We are a little helpless, we have nothing to do first, and martial arts to be second, colleagues are enemies, another side effect of joining the caravan in the name of the adventure group is the hostility and displeasure of the other two mercenary groups in the caravan.
"We have already accepted the escort mission. It was very uncomfortable for the two big mercenary regiments to share the mission reward equally. What do you guys mean by jumping out?"
Even though I have already said that I will not compete with them for commissions, but sometimes doing this business is to fight for breath. In the past two days, several mercenary groups have provoked a lot. They have already asked them to play a game of showing the enemy to be weak, but none of them are fuel-efficient lamps. They promised to commit crimes behind their backs, and they tossed those mercenaries enough for the last time. Returning face, the result is more and more disadvantaged time and time again.
But right now, it is undoubtedly another dispute caused by an "accident".
Suddenly, a purple starlight phantom appeared in the sky above the camp, and the source of the traction was the place full of people's voices.
"...Then it should be Captain Yost's famous epic weapon, the Starfall Sword. It is worthy of being a gold-ranked weapon master, so terrifying. It seems that the master is already serious, huh? At this point, Captain Luo Luo doesn't seem to be worried about his people getting hurt at all?"
I smiled wryly and shook my head.
"I'm worried, of course I'm worried, but I'm just worried about that Xingyun sword. Let's go and have a look, and hope nothing happens...Damn it, that idiot actually challenged Xiaohong! Cindy, what do you bring? There are coffins, I’ll buy a pair, oh no, the coffins probably won’t be used anymore, do you have the tombstone?”
--------
While Roland and his party were still on the road, the Bayer Empire's surprise attack plan ran into unexpected troubles.
Driven by the full power of many obsidian ghost towers, the settlement of the artificial death plane was indeed successful, and a large number of low-level undead were created, but in that world full of negative energy, even the horizon turned grayish white. In the monotonous world, there is a piece of green that is unusually eye-catching.
"Haven't you figured out what that is? Damn it, how could there be a forest there? They even took the initiative to attack the forest of the undead."
Lich Ailu originally thought it was a very simple task, just to control a large number of low-level undead to slaughter unsuspecting humans, but the sudden appearance of a strange forest made his actions far behind expectations. Even though he was unconscious, he still felt a chill down his spine.
"My lord, there are more and more strange plants in that forest, and the forest has begun to spread, and the most incredible..."
The black-robed vampire Kaka's voice became smaller and smaller, as if he had guessed, but he was a little uncertain.
"What is it? Just say it!"
"It feels like the recently best-selling board game Zombies vs. Plants. The types of plants can be seen in the chess pieces! I am an experienced player, and I can tell it at a glance."
"And those plants are specially made for the undead, those pea shooters can actually fire holy light bombs, those magic vines can actually extract the power of death, and those plant bombs actually have holy water in them, I feel that this forest is simply the natural enemy of the undead .”
Ai Lu was stunned for a moment, but then he was furious, and the big ice hand shaped by the magic power grabbed the unlucky vampire.
"What? Our undead army has become someone else's game? Are we playing monkey games in the eyes of others?"
The furious lich remembered the result of not completing the task, and the high-level undead around him hurriedly retreated under the wanton vent of magic power. Only the frozen, pale and unlucky man desperately tried to save himself.
"My lord, since the opponent's arms are common in the game, we can also think of ways to deal with the opponent from the game."
Touching the chin with only bones left, Lich Ailu nodded.
"for example?"
The unlucky vampire desperately used his brains and managed to find a few ways.
"For example, ground-drilling zombies, flying zombies, and iron barrel zombies. Plants can only defend one side. We can let the air force go up, and we can also go around the back. There are many ways."
"Well, well, not bad! You lead the team."
Well, even dying in battle is better than being executed by the boss. Kaka, the blood clan who wanted to cry but had no tears, set off immediately with a new batch of undead army.
But the result was as usual.
fly? Dandelion bombs floating in the air are waiting for you. "
escape? The roots of magic vines and magic plants have long created a deadly soul-snatching network,
Put a protective cover on the undead? The super-giant piranha that suddenly protruded its head from the ground devoured everything.
Detour? This reality is not a game. There are forests all over the mountains and wilds, where to find the way out.
But the lucky (unfortunate) Kaka survived miraculously. He was probably only half breathed in the broken body, but seeing the blazing blue soul fire in Ai Lu's pupils, he suddenly felt that it would be better if he didn't come back. good.
"Hehe, what else do you plan to say?"
"My lord, you can't blame us for being incompetent. That guy cheated. Those arms are rare items. If you have to repeatedly draw tens of thousands of gold coins, you may not get one. He actually has all of them. This is simply gold coin players bullying us civilian players, it's too much !"
"Crack!"
With a crisp sound, this veteran game fan blood was frozen into ice cubes, and Ailu, who was full of anger, glanced at his subordinates, but only saw dodging eyes one by one. In the end, he had no choice but to order ordered.
"Attack with the whole army, let the Ghost Tower continue to arouse the newborn undead, we will fight with him, let's see who can afford it. The will of the great emperors must be carried out, otherwise...you all understand." (Unfinished) to be continued..)\t()
